Oh I know, I just wanted to make it clear that he is not an alcoholic.
I have "googled" and found some info about being co-dependent. A while back a friend of mine (who is an alcoholic) told me it sounded like I had co-dependent traits. I didn't think it was true at the time because I thought it meant that I was very dependent and I'm pretty independent. Now that I've read about it I would say that I have been showing co-dependent tendencies.
